Friday Stuff


David Pakman tells us aboot our trade problems with Canada in particular (good points about the “Trump slump” in travel)…



…and I do not in any way share Mike Malloy’s “deep respect” for New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, who as far as I’m concerned had more to do with pushing the “regular guy you want to have a beer with” narrative about Dubya in 2000 than anyone else, but I have to grudgingly admit that Bruni is absolutely right in the column Malloy discusses for the reasons Malloy notes (though I have a kinder view of Bill Clinton than Malloy does)…



…and Kyle of Secular Talk gives us his take on Steve Schmidt leaving the Republican Party (NSFW…and by the way, let’s not forget that Schmidt helped bring us “Caribou Barbie,” as Kyle reminds us…also, a recent comment by Kyle stating that Rachel Maddow is the left wing version of Glenn Beck was one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever heard – it was related to Maddow’s recent crying episode on air, which shows commendable humanity on Maddow’s part as far as I’m concerned)…



…and kudos to Stephanie Ruhle for this (Nail. Hammer. Head.)…



…and Farron Cousins has more to say on Melania Trump and that ridiculous jacket of hers (and news flash, people – she was a fashion model; she knew EXACTLY what she was doing, as Cousins reminds us)…



…and happy 70th (!) birthday to Upper Darby’s own Todd Rundgren (wonder if he gets tired of being reminded about that?) – I went back and forth on a few selections, but settled on this one.
